So firstly, do you agree that "evolution" in the sense that all animal species "evolved" from earlier and different species, and ultimately from one common ancestor in a scientific fact?
I challenge you dj2becker
I challenge you to lay out your own interpretation of the process of creation (ID or whatever) so that, instead of going on about how rubbish the TOE is, we can see how strong your position is. Please follow these simple processes, which should provide a clear framework for your evidence and stop the theory of getting ambiguous:
1) State your initial premise (I presume it will be something like 'God created life at whatever time and it consisted of whatever animals etc. and here is the proof'😉, try and be as clear as possible.
2) Cite examples of empirical data which support your theory
3) Do not use examples contained solely in the bible since these cannot be proved by empirical means. If you must use the bible, acknowledge that the interpretation of example (where necessary) casts uncertainty on their strength.
4) Do not use the bible as a basis for extrapolation or suggested potential steps in structuring your theory, other than in your initial statement.
5) Do not use reference to the TOE in any of your evidence, the refutation of one theory is not proof of another.
6) Do not cut and paste any of your work from other sources, but explain it using reference links but in your own words.
If you can clearly lay out what you believe to have happened, instead of just saying the TOE is nonsense, I (and I imagine most others) will offer respectable comment and be happy to discuss the merits of the theory. If you cannot, your constant slagging off of the TOE from a position of certanty is utterly unfounded.
